The Marantz 2275 was the focus of an interesting Marantz ad campaign that ran in Stereo Review. The ad showed a burned 2275 that the owner claimed had been recovered from the charred remains of his home after a house fire. After replaceing the power cord the 2275 allegedly worked perfectly. Of course, some anti-Marantz types began insinuating that it was actually the 2275 that started the fire in the first place.
There was no Marantz 2275b. You may have been thinking of the 2285 and the 2285b.
Yes, you are correct. Fixed. Thank you!
The advertisement with the burned up Marantz was a 2270, not a 2275.
The 2275 is a legend. One of the very best audiophile grade vintage receivers on the market and a solid investment.
